BARACK OBAMA TO PRESENT HILLARY CLINTON WITH $30,000 RHINESTONE JUMPSUIT!

Spokespersons for Barack Obama have yet to deny rumors - circulating since Tuesday afternoon - that the president-elect will present Senator Hillary Clinton with a $30,000 tangerine topaz and crystal rhinestone jumpsuit created for her by Italian designer Swarovski Rivolli.

Sources close to this investigation have also hinted that first lady-elect Michelle O'Bama is furious with her husband's decision to appease the former first lady and Senator from New York (who has accepted a cabinet appointment as Secretary of State in the forthcoming Obama administration) with such an audacious "inauguration" gift.

Unnamed sources have also indicated that Mrs Obama has threatened to release an audio tape of her husband clearly referring to former president Bill Clinton as a "fat meddling whitey-assed motherfucker" should Mr Obama insist on pursuing his allegeded current policy of further rewarding Mrs Clinton.

Spokespersons for both the Obama's and the Clinton's were not available to answer additional questions at the time of this posting. Italian designer Swarovski Rivolli is reportedly vacationing in Costa Rica with Portuguese supermodel Preciosa Platanares and could not be reached for comment.

Reliable sources in the vicinity of the RNC have confirmed that clothing, jewelry, and various whimsical accessories purchased by the McCain campaign on behalf of Sarah Palin and family during the general election (and valued at approximately $150,000) have been fully accounted for and since donated to several small Inupiat communities located near the city of Barrow on Alaska's North Slope.





Spokespersons for the RNC and the former McCain campaign have yet to respond or provide additional comment for this story. Sarah Palin and Fred Thompson will be in Orlando, Florida over the weekend appearing together in a dinner theater adaptation of Frederick Kohner's 1957 novel Gidget; The Little Girl With Big Ideas.

Religious debate roils Capitol Visitor Center (Seattle Times):

Protests by conservative lawmakers led architects to promise to add "In God We Trust" as the national motto and to engrave the Pledge of Allegiance in the new $621 million Capitol Visitor Center.

Yes, well, in that case I think they should add "In God We Trust" to the Capitol Visitor Center 621 million times (just think of how many good paying new jobs that would create).

Road Rage By God - or - A man with a divine plan
Man says God ordered him to ram vehicle at 100 mph (AP):

Monday, December 1, 2008

A man who rammed his [pickup - ed] truck into a woman's vehicle on a highway early Friday told authorities he crashed into her while going more than 100 mph because God told him "she needed to be taken off the road."

The truck rear-ended the car on U.S. Highway 281, both vehicles spun across a median then came to a stop along a barrier in the opposite lanes. Both drivers suffered only minor injuries.

"He just said God said she wasn't driving right, and she needed to be taken off the road," Bexar County Sheriff's Office spokesman Kyle Coleman said in the online edition of the San Antonio Express-News. "God must have been with them, 'cause any other time, the severity of this crash, it would have been a fatal."

[...]

A psychiatric evaluation has been ordered for a man.

Wasn't it nice of God (and Saint Christopher) to save that lady from one of his deranged traveling salesman? Praise. And, presumably, "a man" receiving a psychiatric evaluation will be the same man who was driving the pickup truck too. Also. At least, as with all things, we can trust in God that that is the case. Because that, thank God, is our national motto. Let us sing: Yooo can trust yooor Saab, to the a man who talks to God.....
